OUR TURN
Added 10/15/2009
Did John Wayne show the Green Berets the way they truly were? Of course not. Did John Wayne fight Guadalcanal the way it was really fought? Of course not. In The Red Ball Express, how many of the drivers were black. Do, don't tell me there can't be a movie called The Walking Dead and it has to be about some real soldiers. This was a good movie with good actors. Eddie Griffin gives a good showing in this movie, as does Allen Payne and Courtney Vance.
My only fault with the story was to have them smoking marijuana in the field. That's something that would not have happened in Vietnam. 'Charlie' would have smelled them way way back. Otherwise, I enjoyed this. It is one of my favorites along with Siege At Firebase Gloria.

Remember this is a MOVIE...

I always have to debunk those negative remarks when it comes to military movies. First of all, the U.S. government is not going to allow a true movie to come about any mission. Secondly, the director got the idea from someone who was obviously involved in this situation so don't blame them, blame the person who told it. Black Hawk Down contained fallacies itself. Don't believe me? The next time you watch a "military" movie, watch it with a servicemember: They will find something wrong. ACTUAL REPRESENTATION IS NOT ALLOWED.
I enjoyed this movie immensely: The actors work well together and it imparts the idea that everyone has a reason for joining the military. It is interesting and I am happy to have it as part of my movie collection.

once more into the breach we go is my motto I believe to my view that the movie was great to a point. Semper Fi, Mac!

The Walking Dead
Added 2/5/2004
It is a crying shame that the producers of this piece of crap chose to use this title. First Battalion Ninth Marine Regiment nicknamed "The Walking Dead" has been done a tremendous discredit by having their name associated with such Hollywood garbage. Read the book instead and don't waste one penny on this junk. The real story of 1/9 would make a tremendous movie.
